OK, that "hand grenade" might top the list. But don't sleep on this one (my emphasis):

The aide, Fiona Hill, testified that Mr. Bolton told her to notify the chief lawyer for the National Security Council about a rogue effort by Mr. Sondland, Mr. Giuliani and Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, according to the people familiar with the testimony.

“I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Mr. Bolton, a Yale-trained lawyer, told Ms. Hill to tell White House lawyers, according to two people at the deposition. (Another person in the room initially said Mr. Bolton referred to Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Mulvaney, but two others said he cited Mr. Sondland.)

A federal court has ruled that a prison guard who flouted protocol and unshackled an inmate, who then terrorized a local hospital, cannot be sued in connection with the incident.

Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel, Judge Frank H. Easterbrook of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit Court ruled that while the officer, Shawn Loomis, is a "feckless coward," current case law has not "clearly established that permitting a prisoner to escape violates the Constitution." Loomis is thus protected by qualified immunity, a legal doctrine which effectively holds that public servants can only face civil suits if the conduct in question has explicitly been ruled unconstitutional in an earlier case.

What did this guy do?

On May 8, 2017, Tywon Salters, an inmate at the Kane County Jail, drank hydrogen peroxide and ate a jail-issued sandal in an apparent suicide attempt. He was then transferred to the Delnor Community Hospital and put under Loomis's supervision. Loomis unshackled Salters on multiple occasions, leaving him unsupervised and allowing him to walk around the hospital without restriction. On May 13, during one such instance, Loomis removed Salters's restraints for at least 30 minutes; the inmate then stole Loomis's handgun, which was not holstered. Loomis failed to subdue Salters, and did not alert hospital security personnel of the situation. Instead, Loomis ran and hid in a closet.

Forget civil liability - the guard should be prosecuted for a whole lot of things, including an accessory to every crime the prisoner committed while running free.

But he should also obviously be civlily liable to the victims of the prisoner he deliberately unshackled and allowed to roam through the hospital.

But, as always, there is one law that us average citizens have to obey, and are punished severely if we don't; and another law for our "public servants" which is mostly no law at all regardless of how horrific their behavior is.

What this tells me is that Biden sees people like the truck driver as PROPS, like so many democrats seem to do. similar instances: Kamala Harris not refunding overcharges from the prosecutor's office, Elizabeth Warren robbing a Native American or some other minority of a teaching position, the push for higher middle class taxes, the casual demonization of successful business owners, the casual acceptance of late-term abortion, the sudden push to attack Turkey (an ally by treaty) and embroil our military in the desert again.

Senator Rand Paul just wrote a great book, “The Case Against Socialism” which is now out. Highly recommended – as America was founded on LIBERTY & INDEPENDENCE – not government coercion, domination & control. We were born free, and will stay free, as long as I am your President!

I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He's a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change. The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term.

And if Beto doesn’t get out and stop talking soon, he’s going to turn himself into the Progressive Sarah Palin.

This is what should've given me an early head's up on the Rear Admiral and his garbage scow of fools. The snotty dismissive attitude toward Palin was just as much aimed at us deplorables from the country clubbers because we didn't know their secret password. Here's my password, Junior: shove it up your candy ass. You clowns are on the outside looking in and that's not about to change anytime soon.

Guatemala, Honduras & El Salvador have all signed historic Asylum Cooperation Agreements and are working to end the scourge of human smuggling. To further accelerate this progress, the U.S. will shortly be approving targeted assistance in the areas of law enforcement & security.

I smell the setup to a buddy comedy flick. Beto gets kicked out of the house and he and Hunter Biden take a road trip cross-country.

“The Department of Justice will not stand for exploitation of our nation’s children. Let today’s announcement send a message: if you are involved in crimes of this nature, we are coming for you.”—Deputy AAG Downing

The House voted Wednesday to condemn President Donald Trump’s move to pull troops from northern Syria as bipartisan opposition to the move mounts.

Well, then, the House can draft a declaration of war or an authorization for military action, defining the enemy and setting out clear, well thought-out objectives that are achievable given the complex situation and the American forces they are willing to commit to it, and they can vote on the damn thing, and every single one of those clowns can put him or herself on record and make themselves accountable to the troops they want to put into harm's way.

The U.S will require Chinese officials to notify the State Department ahead of any contacts they plan to have with American educators, researchers & local & state governments. (The policy change is reciprocal to a requirement currently in place in China.)

I am deeply concerned that the White House has canceled an all-Member classified briefing on the dangerous situation the President has caused in Syria, denying the Congress its right to be informed as it makes decisions about our national security.

I so what does the HOUSE intend do? We’re not gonna stop the invasion in Northern Syria by Turkey, but they want to put the 50 US troops back in harms way anyway? Political stupidity.

I read the pertinent parts of the FISC judge. Its part 4 of the ruling and starts on page 45. The judge's analysis starts on page 80. The FISC judge is an Obama appointee. Whether that makes a difference or not is TBD. Is the judge protecting the Swamp or helping Trump drain it?

I do know that one of the priorities of the DOJ under Trump has been a crackdown on FARA violations as well as identifying who all in the Swamp is getting paid by foreign governments and foreign corporations to lobby Congress on their behalf. The judge did rule that the NSA's collection of all the communications with foreign entities was legal. The issue was the perceived inordinate number of queries of the NSA's database by the FBI. I would think that a DOJ crackdown of FARA and the flow of foreign money into the hands of US lobbyists would by default cause an increase in the number of FBI queries of the NSA database.

The FISC judge did note that under the Trump administration reform process were put in place to ensure all FBI queries of the NSA database were in compliance with the FISA statute.

A Norwegian nuclear expert told The Barents Observer that these isotopes — of strontium, barium, and lanthanum — were caused by a "nuclear chain reaction," saying it was evidence that it "was a nuclear reactor that exploded."

In Syria we have tens of Americans stuck between armies of tens of thousands who have been fighting each other for hundreds of years and will probably be fighting each other hundreds of years from now.

BREAKING: Trump vetoes resolution to overturn national emergency to build border wall - The Hill

BEWARE: This so-called "respected foreign policy expert" -- Nicholas Burns -- is making the rounds on CNN & MSNBC, where he is being billed as a "former Bush diplomat," but what he & his hosts aren't disclosing to viewers is HE'S A BIDEN FOREIGN POLICY ADVISER & BIDEN SUPPORTER

It's ok to call Brett Kavanaugh a gang rapist??
It's ok to bang Willie Brown for power and posistion.
It's ok to LIE REPEATEDLY for personal gain about being a CHEROKEE, NATIVE AMERICAN or AMERICAN INDIAN??
on and on and on and on and on and on.
Much of this country looks at FULL COMMIE POLS, as CELEBRETARDS.

I am very proud. Amy's oldest who is very very bright was invited to Harvard last weekend to see if she wanted to to go there. She thought the college was ridiculous. All liberal (my word not hers) BS.

From reading one of the prev links, this is not an innocent mistake. The video was originally posted on Twitter by a Turk diplomat. ABC darkened the image and made it more grainy to make it look more authentic. They also removed any pesky Americans in the background.
It's actual propaganda and fake news.

Jim, those machine gun shoot videos are all over the web. My hunting buddies trade them. Any of us could tell Knob Creek in nanoseconds... ABC must be incredibly stupid to think that would fly. It’s like posting Franco Harris and the immaculate reception under the premise of a high school game. It is that obvious.

GUS, a 21 year old teacher? WTF is the kid’s family buying with the EBT card, crack? (Tennessee, maybe meth). Why didn’t the teacher force a gender change for food? Is the kid starving because they are stuck with Moooochelle’s school lunches? So many questions.

Harvard is okay depending on her major. Same with Yale, Cornell and Brown.

if you are into engineering, biochem, etc. then you are fine, not necessariy politially but from a academic enrichment you should be okay.

I lectured at MIT grad school and I found most students apolitical and only interested in where they could get hired. After every lecture they gave me their calling cards in case the old firm was hiring.

Frederick is now looking at Johns Hopkins, the number one research university in America and on hell of a engineering and science school.

I thought the same, but like I said earlier, I suppose they just possibly didn't realize and thought the Turkish guy posted something legit. I didn't watch the report, maybe that's what they are claiming. They are complete morons when it comes to anything involving weapons, after all.
